Name of little spider???

[bee]

This tiny spider's body is only 3/16" and with that little cross on its back it looks like a crusader

Does anybody know the name of it?

Family Salticidae

Jumping spiders, like wolf spiders, do not spin webs to capture prey, but rely on quickness and visual acuity. Jumping spiders and wolf spiders have two eyes much larger than the other six, probably an adaptation to help them better see their prey. Jumping spiders are small to medium sized spiders, usually stout bodied, short legged and hairy. They frequently have contrasting black, reddish, or yellowish markings. They are very agile, pouncing and feeding on small insects about the home. They are often seen on screens or near doors or windows.

I don't know the name of this little spider...

But i can tell you that your macro gallery is very nice and some shoots are really impressive... A really good job.

I had a peek at your site - it looks very interesting and I certainly will have a browse there when I have more time to appreciate your galleries more and to leave some comments...

Haha, Nigel... Yes, why not? What is in a name? "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
